Normally, press releases promulgating that so-and-so has “teamed up” with so-and-so, or that this company has graciously made this-event possible, go straight to the recycle bin. Because, really, who gives a #&@!?

But this one gets a write up here because it means free sausage and beer for you.

S.A.-based Kiolbassa Provision Co. has become the official tailgate sausage of the UTSA Alumni Association’s tailgating party.

“Anybody who wants to come by can eat our sausage and drink our beer,” said Steve Woodall, events manager of UTSA’s Office of Alumni Programs.

Two weekends ago, some friends and I tailgated, and we were stone’s throw away (no, it’s not cooler if you leave out the “away”) from the alumni association’s setup. You can’t miss them. They are in the northwest corner of the Alamodome’s Lot C, right near the stairs.
